The lack of yard signs in front of my house is not due to a lack of support for President Obama.

60. I display Democratic yard signs because I live in a Republican dominant area in Wisconsin

It has voted over 60% Republican in recent elections for state and National candidates. In the last few elections, there have not been any Democratic candidates in the election. There are under two dozen members of the county Democratic, although there aren't closed primaries, so you must be proactive and pay to join. There are few Democratic signs up in town, less than a dozen. Still, over 35% of local residents vote for Democrats, but are mostly in the closet so to speak. By putting up those signs, I feel like I am proclaiming my views for myself but also for the others. I say that even though it seems like everyone else around here is Republican, they are not. You are not alone in this community. I am proud to be a Democrat and maybe in time, you can be too. I live on the main street of town and many people also go by our yard on their way to vote so many of our town's residents or people passing through see our signs.
That said, I am not that courageous. I won't go door to door again after my experiences with the state senate recall petitions.
I hope that you can be proud not to be racist or indifferent in time. I understand though because I was closeted about not being homophobic, like many people around here. Now when someone talks negatively about gay people, I am comfortable speaking up. It might not change their mind but at least it is a statement that not everyone feels this way.
